      It is the biggest species. Up to 30 cm wingspan.

      Edit: this was written when I thought this was an Atlas moth.

    I hate to be a jerk, but that’s not an atlas moth. I’m my opinion, cecropia moths are much, much prettier than atlas moths. And this one is gorgeous!

      Not a jerk at all, I just was curious what the biggest moth was and then searched for images.

      But I think you’re right.

    So beautiful and soft, it looks like embroidery!

    Oh! I looked, if you want to embroider a cecropia moth but aren’t up for doing it freehand, there’s patterns out there! You’d need to know the technique for getting the red part realistically furry.

Absolute Unit: an Animal, Public Figure or Object who is larger than one would normally expect.

Rules

Absolute units, not normal units. More detailed definitions here

No creepshots / fat shaming pics allowed. Mainly the subjects are animals, but big foods and objects, like statues, are also allowed. If you are submitting humans, only public figures are allowed, and not only to showcase that they are fat, they must be also large in stature; no harassment or creepshots; fat-shaming is strictly prohibited.

while mild NSFW stuff is allowed (as long as its put in it’s own tag when posting), anything more than that (and borderline NSFL) is straight up banned. This includes stuff that is sexual in nature, gory, anything not very palpable for the eyes.

Don’t forget to follow the rules in your server
